| Next Wednesday will be as cold as last Christmas day |
The Hong Kong Observatory has advised people to keep warm starting this weekend as temperatures are expected to plunge again.
A cold front is expected to move across the coast of
southern China on Saturday night, causing temperatures to dip to 13 degrees on
Sunday morning. It will continue to drop until it reaches about 9 degrees on
Wednesday.
“The associated intense winter monsoon
will affect the region in the following few days. It will become cold
appreciably,” said a spokesperson for the Observatory.

Meanwhile, the next few days are
expected to be cloudy with some rain places. The Observatory said this is due
to an “upper-air disturbance” in the region.
Separately, “Milk Tea” has emerged as
the favorite name for a typhoon in a survey conducted recently by the
Observatory.
Forty names were suggested by weather
officials, and the list was whittled down to 20 after 20,000 voters were
consulted.

and “Heung-pin” which are two different kinds of tea; and “Pui-pui”, from the
